11 About FAUST :
12 -------------
13
14 FAUST (Functional Audio Stream) is a functional programming language
15 specifically designed for real-time signal processing and synthesis. A
16 distinctive characteristic of FAUST is to be fully compiled. The FAUST compiler
17 translates DSP specifications into very efficient C++ code that works at sample
18 level. It targets high-performance signal processing applications, libraries and
19 audio plug-ins for a variety of audio platforms and standards. A same FAUST
20 specification can be used to easily generate native JACK or ALSA applications,
21 as well as CSOUND, LADSPA, MAX/MSP, PD, Q, SC and VST plugins.

41 ---------------
42 Architectures :
43 ---------------
44 - supercollider :
45 - revised search-order for SuperCollider headers in Linux,
46 - enhancements to SuperCollider class and control name generation in faust2sc and supercollider.cpp,
47 - Faust prefix added to SuperCollider module name to conform with faust2supercollider script,
48 - default SynthDef with metadata support added to faust2supercollider and faust2sc
49 - -DNO_LIBSNDFILE and -DNDEBUG added to Makefile.sccompile for conformity with faust2supercollider (Darwin)
50 - matlabplot : new -s <nnnnn> (skip) option allowing to skip <nnnnn> samples before printing
51 - netjack : IP and port paramaters added in netjack-dsp architecture, NetJack client now restart.
52 - iPhone : architecture files updated
53 - pure : bug fixes, realtime-friendly voice allocation fixes, support for metadata.
54 - puredata : on Darwin both 32 and 64-bits intel code are now generated
55

57 -----------
58 Libraries :
59 -----------
60 - effect.lib : moog_vcf_2bn added, minor zita_rev1 additions
61 - filter.lib : tf2np, tf2snp, and general ladder/lattice filters added
62 - osc : build for both i386 and x86_64 architectures on Mac OSX, corrects frames value in OSC IO architecture
63
64
65 ----------
66 Examples :
67 ----------
68 - improvements and bug corrections in faust-stk
69 - new examples for Faust-STK in /examples/faust-stk/pd-patches/fancy
70 - new description metadata tag in faust-stk examples
71
72
73 ----------
74 Compiler :
75 ----------
76 - Support for listings with accents and symbolic representation for numbers of type i/j.pi**k or i/j.e**k in automatic documentation system
77 - improved and simplified infinite loop detection during compilation, default compiler timeout set to 10 mn
78 - bug fix when counting recursive signals to draw
79 - compiling error with VC++ 2008 fix
80
81
82 ---------
83 Scripts :
84 ---------
85 - option -utf8 added to faust2mathdoc allowing to recode the .dsp file to UTF-8 before being processed
86 - added -I/usr/local/lib/faust to faust2ladspa because faust2jack uses this solution for typical personal Linux
87 - faust2sc: added checkInputs method to generated UGen; SynthDef input signals wrapped in In.ar()
88 - faust2pd : updated to faust2pd-2.5
